Travel time through Banke National Park reduced under revised time-card system

Authorities have revised the time-card system for vehicles traveling through the Banke National Park section of the East-West Mahendra Highway, reducing the allotted travel time. The decision came after a coordination meeting chaired by Kohalpur Municipality Mayor Purna Prasad Acharya on Tuesday.

The meeting focused on shortening the travel duration between the Obhari and Khairi checkpoints. This adjustment to the existing time-card system is expected to streamline vehicle movement through the park. The specific details of the revised schedule and its implementation were discussed to ensure smoother transit for commuters and transport.

The initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of travel along this crucial highway segment that passes through a national park. By optimizing the time allocated for passage, officials hope to balance the needs of transportation with the conservation and management of the park's environment. Further details on the new timings and any associated regulations are anticipated.
